| Abstract | In an era where digital transformation and AI is accelerating across all sectors, the protection of personal and financial information has never been more critical. The talk titled “Privacy Reimagined: The Future of Digital Security” will delve into the innovative landscape of privacy-preserving technologies. The talk will address the growing urgency for privacy solutions in light of rising data breaches, stringent regulatory frameworks, and the increasing sophistication of cyber threats. This talk will equip attendees with a comprehensive understanding of the transformative role of privacy-preserving technologies in the future of digital security. By weaving together theoretical knowledge and practical applications, participants will leave with actionable insights to navigate the evolving landscape of digital privacy.
What will participants gain from the seminar: Participants will learn about various cutting-edge technologies including zero-knowledge proofs, homomorphic encryption, and decentralized identity solutions. Each of these approaches plays a vital role in maintaining user privacy while enabling secure transactions, thereby fostering trust in digital interactions. Real-world applications of these technologies will be explored, demonstrating their effectiveness in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and e-commerce. For instance, the use of zero-knowledge proofs allows for secure verification of identity without revealing underlying data, a critical enhancement in scenarios where trust is paramount. Additionally, homomorphic encryption enables data to be processed in encrypted form, thus preserving privacy even during computations. Relevance to ISACA members: Focusing on regulated financial markets, the discussion will highlight specific privacy-preserving technologies that cater to compliance standards such as the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (PDPO), Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). Emphasizing the need for transparent data handling and security measures, the talk will illustrate how these technologies can mitigate risks, enhance customer experiences, and comply with regulatory requirements. |
